Tryton Bifurcation Stent: Basic Concepts and Initial Clinical Experience
Author: Antonio L. Bartorelli, MD, Centro Cardiologico Monzino IRCCS, Institute of Cardiology, University of Milan, Italy
CONCLUSION
- When used in conjunction with a DES, the Tryton stent is associated with good clinical outcome and low restenosis rate
- These preliminary IVUS results show:
- Complete coverage of side branch ostium
- Complete stent expansion
- Large final area
- High symmetry (Dmin/Dmax) of the Tryton stent
- This may contribute to the low restenosis observed in Tryton I
- These preliminary data suggest that the Tryton stent approach provides a reliable and reproducible strategy to stent the SB and its origin
